Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Heading out to the Winton market today. Hoping to buy some "grow your own mushrooms".
Bought a medium size bag to see how it goes. The guy selling them says it's still a bit cold to grow them outside down south - frost is the main issue and they grow very slowly in the cold.
So we'll try this bag inside and see how it goes. I'm going to have a go at growing spores after we've done a third harvest off this bag. If I can get some going I'll inoculate some wood shavings. Otherwise I can buy some spores off this guy and try that.
It sounds very much like a trial and error thing until you get just the right conditions and ensure you are fastidious with cleanliness when growing spores.
I really want to try this again, but, I know it's probably just cheaper to buy mushrooms.
Most small scale growing of food is cheaper to just buy, but that's not as fun 🙂
I guess there is something to getting older and back pain. This whole year I seem to keep easily tweaking my lower back. I was fine the whole day yesterday and sat funny for a short period on the couch and now my back has been killing me since last night
Isn't there something about abdominal strenth and back pain? Like as you get older you get less exercise so you get weaker core strength and sorer back?
You're right. I've gotten kind of obsessed with running over the last couple years, so I've been neglecting a lot of other exercise. But this year seems to be bad for me with the low back. I'm starting to do a bit of yoga again to regain flexibility and should probably do something for core and posterior chain strength. I was feeling pretty good the most of the week, but last night something just went and I could barely stand up straight
I haven't done proper exercise for years. Starting to try to get into regular bike riding but haven't done a lot recently.
Sore bodies are probably inevitable as we get older, but it would be nice to slow it down.
